Weekend Wrap-up

Run

Even though it was a holiday weekend, that didn’t deter me from getting a long run in on Saturday morning.

Distance: 11 miles

Time: 1:40

Weather: cold and cloudy, 20 degrees

My body does do well in cold weather!! Somehow I managed to run 11 miles on Saturday, but it was sure slow going!! My body and muscles get so stiff and tight during the winter when it is so cold. I probably ran at about a 9:00 minutes/mile pace, which is about one minute slower than my normal pace during the warmer months. Needless to say, it wasn’t that great of a run.

While on my run, naturally I was planning what I wanted to eat for my second breakfast of the day. The usual did not sound appetizing: cereal, yogurt, eggs, but then I thought about pancakes and couldn’t get them off my mind. So when I got back, I whipped up some pancakes–vegan pancakes to be exact!!

I’m always a little worried when I make a new recipe, but have no fear!

These were ah-mazing!! I couldn’t believe how delicious they were!!! And they were vegan to boot!!

The rest of my weekend was filled with running errands, cleaning, and laundry–all that fun stuff. Actually, I enjoy doing those things, so it doesn’t bother me. I like to have all my ducks in a row before going into the week.

[…] headed over to a friend’s for a little holiday gathering at her place, and I decided to make Peppermint Walnut Crunch Blondies. They were such a hit last time I made them, I couldn’t resist making them […]
